Finally!!! We are priming and painting the walls upstairs.
This is the front bedroom...the one everyone wants because it has a balcony.
And here is a hint for you. When you are painting new drywall, use a primer first, and have it tinted. But make sure you only tint it a portion of the color you will be painting. For example, we are painting the walls all the same color in the house. Creamy. I know...boring. But if you've made the decisions I've made in the last few years....
So, we had the primer tinted 80% of the Creamy color. Now when we paint with the Creamy paint, we will still see where we painted, and it will go on smoothly because we primed the walls first. If you don't prime first, you'll be painting two coats with paint because the first coat gets sucked up into the drywall, and primer is cheaper.
Have a great day!
